Balloon Dog Collection
“News Flash”
This piece features a gold balloon dog painted over a recycled newspaper background. I wanted to play with contrast, combining a shiny, playful shape with a textured, muted background. I wanted to create a balance between fun and structure, while also giving life to new materials.
